Food Photography Tips

A compilation of the best food photography tips and resources for food bloggers or and other website owners.

“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.”

— George Eastman

As I was scouring the web for food photography tips, it occurred to me that a good round-up of the best posts and articles of photography tips would be helpful for other food bloggers too. So here’s a great list of food photography tips and as I find more I’ll add to it. Check back frequently for updates. Also, a super great resource is Food Blogger Pro, a membership website. There are tons of tips and hints and lots of videos that will help improve your food photography and photography in general.

Another excellent resource for food photography tips is the blog, Learn Food Photography, by G and Neel. This is an amazing array of information. I’ve linked to some of the posts there that are full of food photography tips, but there are just too many to include them all here so definitely check it out!

I also purchased the book Tasty Food Photography and found it to be extremely useful and my photos improved after I implemented the photography tips included in the book. Click the graphic above to get your copy and start improving your photos today!

Practice daily and take a lot of photos—and pay attention to what you see on the sites like foodgawker.com and tastespotting.com. You’ll find inspiration and learn what is considered good food photography.
